 Description   

Using the deprecated playSound(String...) method to play custom sounds via a resource pack worked in 1.8, but causes an error in 1.9:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Sound effect magic.wandup does not exist

I was previously able to use playSound with the string "magic.wandup" to play that sound as defined in a server resource pack.

Is there any way to make that work again?

Relates (loosely) to SPIGOT-251 and SPIGOT-1528

Temporary workaround:

public static void playSound(Player player, String sound, float volume, float pitch)
{
    PacketPlayOutCustomSoundEffect soundPacket = new PacketPlayOutCustomSoundEffect(sound, SoundCategory.MASTER, player.getLocation().getX(), player.getLocation().getY(), player.getLocation().getZ(), volume, pitch);

    ((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(soundPacket);
}

I'm also getting this, driving me crazy.
Used to be able to supply a string that would get passed along, but it's trying to parse that into the new enums or something now?

I'm not getting any exceptions thrown, however, the sounds do not play at all. It may possibly be that the resource pack sound structure has changed.

If you load a resource pack into 1.9 on the resource packs menu, you can see them blood red, mentioning they are incompatible.
